Housing

Good quality, warm and affordable housing is crucial for improving social mobility and for tackling poverty.

Poor housing impacts on the health, education, and therefore the work chances of residents.

Damp, mouldy houses lead to health problems which cost our health service and productivity. Not having a safe and appropriate place to study harms our school children and adult learners.

But most of all having safe, secure and affordable homes is a matter of dignity and should be a right for everyone.

In the coming months, the APPG will explore ways in which housing poverty can be addressed.
